Message: <blockquote data-quote="Thain" data-source="post: 452180" data-attributes="member: 7215">Mea culpaYour right, your right; I over-corrected, but I think I have the right idea- I want the PrC to be both a metamagic wiz (pardon the pun) and a good and gifted teacher with a very loyal cohort/apprentice. Everyone seems to agree, imho, that the Spell Secret and Arcane Training are decently balanced. As is a d4 HD, and 4 skill points/lvl... But, most seem to also lean towards the loss of spells as a handicap. Also, the class seems fairly geared towards "EZ-on, EZ-off", I grow afraid of people only taking the first 2-5 levels, buffing their cohort and moving on in a PrC like Archmage or (gasp) Incantantrix. Thus, I wanted to spread something over the course of the class... Practiced Ease was over the top, thus I give you:Practiced Ease Take TwoThe Arcane Mentors knowledge of magic and magical theory allows them to cast metamagic spells with greater ease than other spellcasters. At 3rd level, the Arcane Mentor gains the ability to reduce the level adjustment of any one metamagic feat she possess by 1, to a minimum of 0.At 6th level, the Arcane Mentor gaisn this ability agian, and may apply it to any metamagic feat she possesses. The Arcane Mentor may, if she desires, reduce the level adjustment of a metamagic feat that has already been the subject fo this ability, but may not reduce the ajustment lower than 0.No more than one Practiced Ease metamagic feat may be applied to the same spell at the reduced cost. The Arcane Mentor may of course combine normal cost Metamagic Feats to spells prepared with Practiced Ease, but only one feat can have the discounted level adjustment.ExampleA normal wizard could memorize and prepare a Maximized Magic Missile as a (1+3) 4th level spell. However, an Arcane Mentor of at least 3rd level, who selected Practiced Ease (Maximize), could prepare the same Maximized Magic Missile as a (1+3-1) 3rd level spell.Well? Whatcha think about it, now?</blockquote>
